If whining, panicking, and being in a constant state of desperation were the makings of a champion –Sukhi and Jinder Atwal would wake up to find themselves on a Wheaties box.

Unfortunately for them – and fortunately for the rest of planet Earth – that is not the way life goes. The brother and sister team – who spent last night’s episode of The Amazing Race Canada piggybacking on other teams to get ahead, begging teams for the right answers and racing around Macau, China, in an obnoxious tizzy while blindly missing clues – finished last. But they aren’t going home so, as fellow racer Mickey Henry said, they’ll be harshing our mellow for at least another week.

The racers arrived in Macau from Hong Kong and began their tour with a 764 ft. bungee jump from the Macau Tower. Good job by the TARC editing team for working in Swan Lake music while former ballet star Rex Harrington made the leap and “danced” as he dangled from the cord.

Uh-oh. Don’t look now – but Mickey just dropped trou and exposed his leopard-print Speedos. Apparently, he thought taking off his pants was faster than emptying out his pockets. Well, we can’t un-see that.

By the time most teams were suiting up for the big jump, Natalie Spooner and Meaghan Mikkelson (frontrunners for three weeks in a row) were already onto the Detour challenge. Teams could either run around Macau finding stamps to put on a scroll (Stamp It) or learn a Portuguese-flavoured traditional Macau dance (Stomp It). Natalie and Meaghan chose the dance – and got into their first real argument while trying to master the steps.

Meanwhile, Sukhi and Jinder were lagging behind, trying to find their Detour clue in an almond cookie shop. They both stood beside and walked by the clue box – TWICE! – and then tried to get Rex and Bob to tell them where it was. Rex and Bob, annoyed by Sukhi and Jinder’s dependence on other teams, took no pity and raced off.

Surfer dudes Mickey and pal Pete Schmalz – wearing some pretty crazy man-buns in their hair – were stuck with Sukhi and Jinder in the “Stamp It” challenge, after telling them they could work together. But soon after the Atwal panic set in, Mickey and Pete wanted to ditch them in a big way. “They’re like a tornado of chaos,” Mickey says. “They’re definitely harshing my mellow a little bit.”

The last challenge of the night involved a Chinese gambling game called Fan-Tan. Teams had to learn to play the game just by watching the dealer. It was an intimidating puzzle with numbers, buttons and different-coloured chips. Sukhi and Jinder were confused and pleaded with Alain Chanoine and Audrey Tousignant-Maurice for help, even though both teams were in last place. Why would they bother helping?

By the time the Atwals realized they had to use their own brains to win the game, they landed at the pit stop in last place – but were saved because it wasn’t an elimination week. So, they live to whine another week.

“It’s just time to step it up,” Jinder said after hearing the news. “It’s about winning this race. We’re coming like lions and we’re going to take people out.”

Natalie and Meaghan finished in first place again (yawn), bartenders Ryan Steele and Rob Goddard jumped up to second and Rex and Bob finished in third spot.
